ZIP-BT-NFC

Application

Converter for wireless parameterisation/diagnosis of NFC-capable TROX/Belimo volume flow controllers via Bluetooth. With the TROX FlowCheck app and the ZIP-BT NFC converter, it is possible to access volume flow controllers up to 5 m away. Enables wireless reading and setting of operating modes, parameters and reading of current actual and setpoint values on control components with NFC interface.

Product details

Mode of action

The ZIP-BT-NFC converter extends the range for wireless parameterisation of control components up to approx. 5 m. The range with NFC is only a few centimetres. The converter increases the distance to a Bluetooth radio link. Data can thus be transmitted over a distance of several metres. In this way, a more convenient parameterisation is made possible.
To set up the communication connection between FlowCheck App on a mobile device and the control component, the ZIP-BT-NFC converter used must be paired once with the smartphone, as is usual with Bluetooth, and prepared for the TROX FlowCheck App.
The ZIP-BT NFC converter is possible for all TROX/Belimo control components or actuators with NFC symbol, e.g. BC0, BUDN, BUSNF attachments.
The differences and advantages of using the converter are explained in more detail below.

Access only via NFC interface

To read out and overwrite the parameters in the control component, the smartphone must remain positioned exactly on the NFC antenna of the control component for up to 4 seconds. This is not always possible in difficult installation situations.
The trend display function is not available with NFC connection only.

Simplified access with ZIP-BT-NFC (NFC interface converted to Bluetooth radio link)

The ZIP-BT-NFC converter is positioned once on the controller after switching on. Subsequently, more convenient wireless parameterisation is possible over a distance of approx. 5 m.
Reading and writing actions can thus be carried out easily and safely. When the supply voltage is applied to the control component, data can be continuously retrieved from the connected device
which enables a trend display on the mobile device.

Ansichten und Parametriermöglichkeiten in der TROX FlowCheck App
(abhängig von der jeweiligen TROX Regelkomponente)
 
Die TROX FlowCheck App bietet eine umfangreiche Übersicht über z. B.:

• Angeschlossene Spannungsversorgung der Regelkomponente 
• Regelkomponententyp
• Applikation (Durchflussregelung, Kanaldruckregelung, Raumdruckregelung)
• Aktueller Sollwert, Istwert, aktuelle Klappenposition

 
In der TROX FlowCheck App sind alle gängigen Parametereinstellungen stromlos möglich wie:

• Maximal- und Minimaleinstellung für Volumenstrom, Kanaldruck oder Raumdruck
• Analoge Kennlinien, Sollwertvorgabe 0 – 10 V oder 2 – 10 V 
• Analoge Kennlinien, Istwertrückgabe 0 – 10 V oder 2 – 10 V
• Kommunikationsparameter (Modbus, BACnet oder MP-Bus) wie z. B. Adressierungseinstellung

 
Die TROX FlowCheck App bietet beispielsweise Analyse- und Installationsdarstellungen:

• Status über Regelkomponente, Antrieb, Sensor, Volumenstrom, Buskommunikation
• Angeschlossene Spannungsquelle
• Betriebsdauer
• Aktivzeit
• Softwareversion

Commissioning and assembly

An installed TROX FlowCheck app is required to use the ZIP-BT-NFC converter. This is available free of charge in the Apple iOS Store or the Google Play Store and must be installed on the smartphone or tablet. When using the ZIP-BT-NFC converter, take the following steps into account:

Preparation

• Fully charge converter ZIP-BT-NFC with power supply unit
• LED flashes green during the charging process. Continuous light signals the end of the charging process
• Remove the protective film from the magnetic suction foil on the back of the ZIP-BT-NFC converter

Positioning on control component

• Attach the ZIP-BT-NFC to the cable or similar using the retaining loop (to prevent it from falling down (Fig. 2))
• Clean the contact surface of the control component (NFC symbol) so that the suction pressure foil works
• Switch on the ZIP-BT-NFC (green LED lights up) and position it on the control component
• Position so that the NFC symbol is visible through the positioning opening (Fig. 1)
• ZIP-BT-NFC is held in place on the control component by a magnetic connection and a suction-pressure foil

Establish connection

• Open the TROX FlowCheck app and open the connection selection via the menu in the top right-hand corner
• Select switched-on ZIP-BT-NFC under Converter ZIP-BT-NFC (Pairing)
• After setting up the connection in the TROX FlowCheck App, select Back

Data exchange

• The control component is read out after the connection is established. A status bar appears, showing the current progress of the edit
• After completion of the processing, the status and parameterisation can be analysed

Parameter changes

• Changes in attitude are feasible. The message Write changes appears in the upper area of the application
• Confirmation in the TROX FlowCheck App is required to transfer the parameter changes to the control component
